How can I indicate a disabled choice in a pulldown menu? The Mac convention of starting a line with a hyphen “-” doesn’t work. I want the first visible line of a menu to be “Choose…” and disabled.

Hi Paul,

You can add “Choose…” as the placeholder. That should give you the desired “disabled choice.”
